Two twits...you think they were pulling for Pitt?

I watched the whole game and I didn't get that feeling. Buck seemed to emphasize the Steeler scores just as much as the Packer scores.

One thing that does happen in games is that when one team gets behind they subconsciously (or consciously for the sake of ratings) hope that the team behind makes a comeback and keeps the game interesting. So they may have gotten a little more excited when Pittsburgh started to make it close.

As for the twit comment, can you note any specifics that make you think they are so bad as an announcing team?

Well I hate both of them, I've never liked Buck's analysis on anything and I feel that Aikman had 1 too many concussions. But I felt like they did an ok job during the game.

Yea, I shouldn't be Calling names, They do their best I'm sure, and the rating thing makes sense...there is also the mentality that the Steelers don't lose in a Superbowl..

I can't stand Buck he ruins the world series for me every year. I think Aikman does a excellent job but then again I'm probably biased because I'm a cowboys fan and he was one of my favorites to watch when I was a kid.

Once again, I'd just like to know what about Buck is so bothersome. Not trying to antagonize, I'm just curious because I find him pretty entertaining and easy to listen to.
